What incertech does

Incertech is a Mumbai-based manufacturer and service provider specializing in Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) equipment, founded in 2007 by Kinjal Shah. The company's core product line comprises CE-certified low-voltage heat treatment units (75-100 KVA, 6- and 12-zone configurations), mains-voltage control units, CHINO chart recorders, ICT-series temperature programmers/controllers, thermocouple attachment units, flexible ceramic pad heaters using NiCr 80/20 wire through alumina-oxide beads, and high-velocity fuel-fired burners with outputs ranging from 500,000 to 8,000,000 kcal/hr. Supporting accessories and spares (cables, splitters, ceramic-fiber insulation, plugs/sockets, ceramic beads, recorder consumables) round out an integrated PWHT kit, alongside an adjacent Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) line covering magnetic-particle yokes, radiography accessories, and ultrasonic cables.

The business operates three revenue streams: hardware sales of PWHT equipment, equipment rentals for project-based deployments, and on-site services (calibration, repair, electrical-resistance PWHT, combustion firing, furnace design/supply, refractory dryout, and induction heating). Go-to-market is sales-led direct enterprise engagement via phone, WhatsApp, email, and website enquiry forms, with quote-based pricing and multi-year project contracts. Target customers are large Indian industrial enterprises and EPC contractors — Tata Motors, L&T, Reliance, Indian Oil, NTPC, BHEL, EIL, and NFL are referenced as clients — alongside export sales into GCC, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia. The company holds CE certification (achieved 2020) and operates with a lean team of 7 employees from a single Mumbai facility.
